This boss is located at the end of Trove of the Thunder King. Defeating him is easy, getting to him is the hardest part. Even if all you care about is chests, if you can get to him without wasting too much time, it's well worth it: there are often 3 golden chests behind him, he himself drops a chest, and he loots roughly the equivalent of a chest off his corpse upon death.

A brief synopsis of killing him.

To get to him:

1) Run through the first room as fast as possible (I doubt most people have issues with this) and hit the lever on the left side of the stairs to open the double-doors.

2) In the second room, run around the green circles on the ground (will put you in combat and likely aggro dogs) and the red runes (will stun you). Cc any mobs you can before going into combat. If you aggro a mob and cannot leave combat, kill it; the dogs aggro whenever you get near them if you're in combat at all, and will add a lot of time to the run. Don't just cc and run; when the cc breaks, the mob will just port to you anyway, making the cc pointless (cc'ing BEFORE you get into combat will prevent this from happening). You need to swing around to the far (left) side of the fence in the back-right of the room to open a lever there. Alternatively, you can use 2 Clé polymorphique to open these 2 doors, though getting the lever is not a large waste of time.*NOTE: In the off-chance that you open a Golden Chest and spawn the Saurok, you can actually follow him closely; he'll open the doors along the way. If your only goal is to get to the end, don't attempt this, as there's a decent chance you'll end up aggro'ing mobs while trying to chase him down.

3) If you're going to use a Clé polymorphique this is the room to do it, as the lever is relatively far out of the way and there's only a single door to open here (as opposed to 2 in the other rooms). To get the lever, head left in this room, dodging the same types of stuff as before. In particular, you'll see the large mobs that pat around. Pull these when they are away from the dogs and kill them (they can't be cc'd except through Piège de rune de givre, and the setup time is not worth it). Once again, be careful not to engage in combat near the dogs as they'll aggro and add a lot of time. Once you get the lever to the left (or if you're using a key), head right to the door; you'll find another giant patting on the way.

4) In the final room, Gulkan is in the back. There's nothing really special about this room with one exception; the boss is situated between 2 dogs. You DO NOT need to cc or aggro these dogs. Rather, get at more or less max distance to Gulkan and pull him away then kill him there. This will avoid the dogs aggroing. There's not much in the way of mobs in this room other than the dogs, just don't walk into the traps.

Gulkan himself is quite simple. He doesn't hit hard, and the only real ability he has is a frontal cone that you have PLENTY of time to dodge. He has about 2m health; kill him and get your loot.

Note that Taoshi is located in a red circle in the back-left of the room. When you're about to run out of time, you can talk to him. It immediately ends the run (which doesn't matter if there's only 2 seconds left anyway) but in exchange you get a free extra Burial Trove Key.

I solo'ed him easily as a protection warrior after evading all of the other mobs in the instance. I initially thought that i wouldnt have the damage to dps him down, but by the end of the fight i still had two minutes or so to loot the rest of the room
